https://manofmany.com/entertainment/mum-finds-mule-dollar-in-daughters-piggy-bank Just thought id share a story iam reading this morning. Id go thru my boys piggy bank, but everything we put in there was only face-value. Old, cool, but diffently not thousands of dollars, lol.
I love hearing stories like this. It just shows that some people have "hit the jackpot" with unusual finds. Wonder how old the daughter is and what she will do with the coin?
This is awesome that someone can find that in circulation. But the real question is... if you were to spend it, what would the face value be?
Leave a hand written note to whoever finds that stash. Just let them know it's likely worth more than face (if you decide not to sort and appraise yourself). Do that for each stash you've got. It'll at least throw up a red flag to them.
Even if my descendants in the not-very-near future are numismatists and find my stash, they will be disappointed due to the fact that it is just a bunch of New Orleans halves-all just fillers or cleaned.
